2026 Technology Wind Power 
A Greener Life
MARCH 31, 2023
By Anders Lorenzen By 2027 a record 680 gigawatts (GW) of new wind power capacity could be installed. This is according to an industry report from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). The Terawatt milestone Last year the total installed wind power capacity grew to 907 GW – up from 78 GW in 2021.

I wrote about it before, both solar photovoltaic and wind power are on exponential curves. There will be 2 TW (2,000 GW) of solar PV by 2026 according to analysts. Even the IEA has stopped denying it. When I discovered solar photovoltaic in 2004, the global capacity was around 5 GW. Earlier this year it surpassed 1,000 GW.

Converting the Belle River plant: DTE proposes to switch its Belle River plant from coal to fossil gas fuel in 2025 and 2026, saying that the plant would run only in limited amounts following the transition but could be kept in operation until 2040. DTE currently has 3,000 MW of existing and approved solar and wind resources.)

The giant floating offshore wind farm is projected to have a generating capacity of 1 gigawatt (GW) – enough to meet the electricity needs of 800,000 French homes. Construction is planned to begin in either 2026 or 2027.

This would require growth rates in the range of 43 to 90 GW per year for solar and 70 to 145 GW per year for wind by the end of the decade, which would mean more than quadrupling the current annual deployment rates for each technology. EIA also projects US battery storage capacity to more than double in 2023.
